spoken to senators on both democrat and republican sides of the aisle, senator rob portman and sherrod brown about this ad. take a listen. >> i say it is the most disingenuous ad i've ever seen. they know better. they know the auto rescue worked. they know that ohio reasons connected directly or indirectly to the auto rescue and they know that governor romney and my opponent's opposition to the auto rescue, they're trying to crowd the issue and it is pretty outrageous. >> it is their game to the extent it is reported in the media and that's all they have said, there is reports this could happen. the bigger issue for me is what i talked about today who has the best policies to be sure we can continue to manufacture here in america. >> so we should also say that the gm actually weighed in very unusually on this romney ad with a spokesman calling it the worst kind of cynical campaign politics. there is some pushback from the industry about this very controversial ad. >> and, john, big picture here, the latest poll showing us the president has a little bit, a slight edge in ohio right now. but h

listen, let's get down to business, brown noser, nevada is feeling a bit more optimistic, but the unemployment rate is still so high there. are there really signs of broader growth? >> reporter: there are. it is stunning that the president has held on to a lead, a slim lead in this state as he has because the unemployment is so bad. 12.3% in clark county, 11.8% in nevada. the worst in the nation. not only here at the stratosphere but there are buildings across town that have been stopped, the construction stopped for more than a year now. they're starting to start up again. the one big statistic i heard, which is a tiny statistic, the housing prices here. since 2007, they have gone down. in the last month, they went up by 1%. and that, for people in the housing market here, is huge. don? >> miguel, in all seriousness, great report. it makes a viewer watch. really good. thank you. i appreciate you joining us. miguel marquez. >>> cnn gets an underground look at the nation's busiest transportation system. have you ever been underground the new york city subway system. it is amazing. some parts ar

we also spoke to ohio senators, rob portman and sherrod brown about the ad. and here's what they said, carol. >> i say it's the most disingenuous ad i've seen. they know better. they know the auto rescue worked. they understand that 800,000 ohioans are connected directly or indirectly to the auto rescue. they know that governor romney and my opponent's proposition to the auto rescue -- they're trying to cloud the issue. and it's pretty outrageous. >> it's fair game to the extent it's reported in the media, and that's all he said, there have been reports this could happen. the bigger issue for me, who has the best policies to be sure we can continue to manufacture here in america. >> reporter: so both campaigns -- surrogates fighting over this ad. but the squabbling itself is a distraction. and, again, voters here saying they're not sure why the romney campaign decided to double down on this. auto industry so important to voters here in ohio and michigan. and this ad seems to have caused a distraction more than an asset. >> well, and the auto manufacturers, th

but now, it's a foamy brown mess of angry atlantic ocean, thanks to hurricane sandy, which is about 240 miles to our east-southeast and heading in this general direction. we anticipate it to make landfall near atlantic city, near the delmarva. that means we're going to be on the bad side of this storm. we'll continue to get this pounding surf. the last time it was like this was a little over 12 months ago during hurricane irene. but that was at the height of irene. irene came on shore well to our north. this storm will bring this water up as much as another eight feet, which means the boardwalk will be compromised and the water will be going over the top of that. that's why this area's been evacuated. shelters are open. there's been 600 people that have taken advantage of that. just spoke with an official from the fire department here. a few minor calls into the asbury park fire department with some trees and some power lines down but no widespread damage as of yet. and no rescue operations under way. they certainly hope that trend will continue through the overnight period. in the next
